Surface science
Surface science
is the study of
physical
and
chemical
phenomena that occur at the
interface
of two
phases
, including
solid
–
liquid
interfaces, solid–
gas
interfaces, solid–
vacuum
interfaces, and
liquid
–
gas
interfaces. It includes the fields of
surface chemistry
and
surface physics
. Some related practical applications are classed as
surface engineering
. The science encompasses concepts such as
heterogeneous catalysis
,
semiconductor device fabrication
,
fuel cells
,
self-assembled monolayers
, and
adhesives
. Surface science is closely related to
interface and colloid science
. Interfacial chemistry and physics are common subjects for both. The methods are different. In addition, interface and colloid science studies
macroscopic
phenomena
that occur in
heterogeneous
systems due to peculiarities of interfaces.
